However.
After the old man finished speaking, the clerk sitting behind him, who was also the chairman's deputy, paused slightly as if he had thought of something. He leaned forward slightly and asked in a low voice,
"Your Excellency, what about the Maffia Family?"
The deputy knew that mentioning that name at this time might upset the chairman.
But in this special period, the Maffia Family, a huge gang force supported by the Nederland Bank Group, was also a link that could not be ignored.
For bankers, the most taboo was all kinds of uncertainty.
Especially after the new head of the family, "Fanatic" Danford Maffia, came to power. As their black business slowly moved out of the Tylon Kingdom, they gradually became somewhat alienated from the senior management of the bank group.
Even if the Maffia Family's residence had always been in Golden Lion City and was always monitored by the Extraordinaries of the bank group, those so-called family defense forces were not worth mentioning at all to the bank group that had a Great Knight.
However, such a force could not be left alone.
The old man looked back at his deputy. Although the name "Maffia" that gave him a headache was the last thing he wanted to hear during this period, he was not angry.
But he wasn't angry. His deputy was just doing his job.
And as a senior leader who had led the Nederland Bank Group for decades, the chairman's decision-making had never been affected by emotions.
"Don't make decisions when you're in a bad mood" was clearly written in the bank group's motto, after "Even God can't read the Nederland Bank's account books".
Although he was not satisfied with the new head of the Maffia Family after the change of dynasty, he had already decided.
As for how to deal with it, he had already made up his mind.
Since the "knife" in his hand was blunt, he just needed to polish it. If it was still unsatisfactory after polishing, it meant that the "knife" was really unbearable and could be reforged.
For the Nederland Bank Group that held unimaginable resources, this was just a small matter.
Well, to avoid causing Wang Guofang's misunderstanding, the matter of polishing the knife would be left until the end of this state of emergency.
"Send someone to warn that Fanatic. Tell him to stay in the Maffia Family's mansion for now.
If he dares to cause trouble again, even if I can spare him, the dozen or so official Knight of the Alliance's Joint Mobility Troop may not let him go. "
"Yes, Your Excellency. I will do it well!"
.....
After "Venia" left, Elvin's days were completely peaceful again. However, after being bitten by a snake, he didn't dare to wander around Shui City alone for the time being.
During this period of time, he had been obediently staying on the Storm Horn, making the final preparations for his breakthrough.
During this period, when he was out on a cruise mission, he used the materials from a low-level marine magical creature he accidentally captured and successfully created the [Underwater Breathing Talisman].
Then, from the hands of Solomon, an official Magus who was proficient in "summoning spells", he obtained two giant "Purgatory Ferocious Rats" that were over two meters in size. He used their incisors to make a [Fire Resistance Talisman].
So far, he had completed the production of three types of talismans. He had already made more than enough preparations for the "Wild Talisman".
Among the "Activated Plants", the "Giant Vine", the "Black Thorn", and the "Laughing Spore", the three basic species, had already cultivated the corresponding seeds and possessed the corresponding spellcasting abilities.
The prerequisites for the advancement of the "Activated School" mainly required the corresponding knowledge and practice. It was that kind of illusory "behavior". There were no requirements for the types of talismans that could be made and the magical seeds that could be cultivated.
Therefore, Elvin would not be demanding for the so-called "perfection".
All that was left was the last big mountain of the series of potions in "Potionology", the [Psychic Potion]. As long as he could successfully concoct a bottle, he could begin to prepare for the advancement ceremony.
However, before that, he still needed to obtain a sufficient amount of the main ingredient of the potion — "Evil Spirit Powder".
However, on the Old Continent, the Church's ruling power was even deeper than the royal power.
Even if there were no tax officers, there would definitely be clergy of the Goddess, even if it was just a simple "altar" built with stones.
The clergy of the Goddess happened to be the greatest nemesis of evil spirits. After being purified by them, not to mention "Evil Spirit Powder," even dregs would not be left for Elvin.
It was impossible to get the "evil spirit powder" from the Church, just like how he bought the holy water.
As a relatively unconventional material, unless there was a special use, even a wizard who dealt with all kinds of strange things all day long would not want to have anything to do with something as dangerous as evil spirits.
At least in the "Violet Eyes" warehouse and Solomon's place, there was no stock.
Even in ordinary witchcraft experiments or rituals, which required the use of spiritual materials with similar properties, the white crystal powder was more useful and stable than the Evil Spirit Powder!
Therefore, the problem of materials still needed to be solved by Elvin himself.
It was just like when he was fighting in a ranking competition, he was only a small rank away from being promoted to the Greatest King. Even if he worked hard, he had to fight his way through!
Under such circumstances, Elvin could not help but feel a little anxious. He could not help but want to immediately end this lousy mission and follow the footsteps of supernatural events to get rid of the Evil Spirit Powder as soon as possible.
Another point was that he had seen the mythical form of "Kulutena," the price Elvin had to pay for restraining himself from losing control.
The adventurer's blood in his body seemed to have been further activated. From time to time, a bold idea would emerge from the bottom of his heart, and he could not wait to put it into action.
If it were not for the "Data Vision" monitoring his mind at all times, who knew how many big things he would have done unknowingly.
During this period of time, the existence of the "Data Vision" was even more noticeable than in the previous few years. Every few days, a big "Mental State Deviation" prompt would pop up.
The apparent "adventurer's blood" did not make him a reckless man who did not know how to think. Instead, it made Elvin ignore the potential risks behind it, and it made him choose the most radical and most profitable option among the many options!
From the point of view of a researcher, he suspected that this inexplicable impulse might be caused by the abnormal nervous system and abnormal secretion of hormones in the body.
Although it did not cause any serious consequences for the time being, Elvin could not wait to become an official wizard and use the "Activation School" to study the biological body to curb this negative state to a certain extent.
Going out to sea, returning to port, and researching. There were no big waves during this period.
During this period, Milan also did several divinations on the safety of the crew members on the front line of the "Storm Horn."
At the very beginning.
Milan's divination could still capture a little bit of useless information. Most of it was an ambiguous and not strong premonition of danger. It was similar to the divination images during the usual sailing.
But as time went by, the results of this divination became calmer and calmer, and the waves became smaller and smaller.
There was no good, no bad. It was as calm as an ancient well. It seemed to be a very normal ending, but it gave them a feeling that a storm was about to come.
If they did not know that the "Octopus Ghost" might make a big move, they would not think too much. But now that they had the results and traced back to the root, it was not difficult to come to a conclusion:
Some big events that had a very wide range of influence but could only be glimpsed at for the time being were getting closer and closer!
Milan made an analogy to this result.
"We went to visit a huge mountain range. If we were far away, we could see that there was a mountain peak covered by clouds and fog, but we could not see the details.
But as we gradually approached through the clouds and fog, even when things were about to happen, we were already in this mountain range. Even the smallest branch of the mountain range could not be seen clearly. "
.....
Offshore, on a secluded island.
Ou –
Ou –
A large flock of seagulls was chasing and hunting on the nearby water surface. They did not avoid people and shuttled back and forth between the sailboats anchored on the island's dock. They were even bold enough to snatch the lunch from the crew members.
"Annie, look! I just got all the information about the Navy's new stars from the local snake. "
A tall and beautiful figure stepped onto the sailboat anchored at the dock and shouted as if she was asking for praise.
"Especially the information about the" Navy's new star ", Lieutenant Colonel Elvin. Many intelligence dealers and various forces in the nearby waters are paying attention to it. It is not difficult to get the information.
However, he is not in Faletis now. He is out of the country on a mission.
There is accurate information. Not long ago, the Alliance called for the first batch of "Navy's new stars" to go to Tylo Kingdom to help defend against the possible follow-up attacks of the Pirate King Huggins. "
Jasmine Stella took a piece of paper and found Anita who was practicing with a longsword. She lowered her voice and reported to her what she had just learned on the shore.
Riding on the Trident Current, although there were many dangers along the way, the "Golden Antler Ship" arrived at the eastern shore of the Black Sea faster than expected.
Because they had to move offshore, they had changed the sail of the "Golden Antler Ship" before arriving at the "Tulip Alliance." Now it looked like a thin fast merchant ship.
Now, they were staying at the border of the sea far from Faletis. They were temporarily resting in a private port opened by smugglers.
Jasmine used the connections left by the old captain and went ashore to collect information about Elvin very easily.
Hu —
Hearing Jasmine's words, Anita let out a deep breath and slowly put down the Dragon-slaying Sword that was held horizontally.
She was not excited by the news about her brother. Instead, her slender eyebrows slightly furrowed. She felt that there was something wrong with the information.
"Is this the meticulous, profound, and dangerous Pirate King I remember?
How is it possible that the location of the operation is known to everyone before the operation has even begun? Even a third-rate intelligence dealer knew about it.
Although it may be an accidental leak of information, I don't believe that this great pirate who has been sitting on the throne of the Black Sea for decades did not consider this point! "
In fact, Anita's suspicion was correct. The information about the "Leiden Valley" was actually intentionally spread by the Alliance.
The original intention was simple.
This operation may be a "secret" operation for the Pirate King, but the more the information was spread, the more eyes would pay attention to the "Leiden Valley."
No matter what the Pirate King wanted to do, his subsequent operations were bound to be more difficult!
Clearly, the upper echelons of the Alliance did not have the intention of making the Pirate King retreat.
Anita, who also heard this information, frowned slightly. After hearing about Elvin's whereabouts, her first reaction was that things could not be that simple.
Anita had seen the Pirate King in Shipwreck Bay before. In her impression, he was a ruthless character who hid a knife behind his smile. Anyone who dared to look down on him would definitely not have a good ending.
Even if she had become a Grade 3 Great Knight, she did not dare to be arrogant enough to think that she was on equal footing with such a guy.
Realizing that things were not simple, Anita said with a solemn expression.
"There must be some inside information about the" Leiden Valley "that outsiders do not know.
I don't care what the Octopus Ghost wants to do, but if it affects Elvin, my Dragon-slaying Sword will let him have a taste of its sharpness!
Molly, let's go immediately and use the Irmin Current at the fastest speed! "
After the Trident Ocean Current reached the East Coast, one of the Canary Ocean Current brushed past the Elia Kingdom to the south and reached the Treasure Sea, another Irmin Ocean Current continued north into the Northern Isles, and the smallest Tethgar Ocean Current turned back towards the north of the new continent.
From the current position of the Golden Horn Deer to the Kingdom of Tylo, they could still hitch a ride with the Irmin Current.
